Doug's passion for quilting, his creativity, and love of colors are manifested in each pattern twice as the designs are presented in two colorways. He has been quilting since he was 6-years-old and designing and selling his patterns since he was 14 - his mom is responsible for his addiction!

He designs equally well with traditional, modern, and novelty fabrics so I am sure you will find a few quilts you love in this book. I love the book's two colorway presentation as we can see what a quilt would look like if we chose a different palette. Playing with the scale of patches, the arrangement of blocks, and the amount of negative space and presenting the patterns with clear step-by-step instructions, Doug makes it easy for us to create: just add fabric and elbow grease.

Another feature of the book I liked: Doug show's us his favorite, time-tested, and easiest methods for making the blocks he uses the most.

I am always looking for different quilt designs with patterns which are easy to understand, fast to make, and will be a hit when I show them around. Stashtastic! has12 of such patterns so I am a happy camper!

Doug Leko founded Antler Quilt Design in 2008, when he was 14 years old. He launched a full-scale design and marketing operation while he was still in high school. Doug has a vibrant and expanding collection of patterns available, and he takes a distinctive approach to his quilting designs. He enjoys incorporating secondary design elements into his quilt patterns, and he's absolutely passionate about color. For Doug, there's nothing like pulling together just the right mix of coordinating fabrics for a project. His work has been featured in publications such as McCall's Quilting, Quiltmaker, and American Patchwork & Quilting, as well as many others. When he's not busy developing new designs or showing at Quilt Market, he divides his time between teaching and speaking at quilt shops and guilds and traveling the world.
